      • source: Reviews for The Divorce Party and Laura Dave:
      • content: A revealing, honest portrait of how love binds us together -- and drives us apart. Laura Dave understands the affections and contradictions within the human soul. I love this book!

        —Kate Jacobs, author of FRIDAY NIGHT KNITTING CLUB

        "In lustrous, supple language and with breathtaking acuity, Laura Dave explores the intricate inner lives of two women as they struggle to know the men they love... they face the same thorny question: how many lies—and how much truth—can love bear?"

        —Marisa de los Santos, author of LOVE WALKED IN

        Praise for LONDON IS THE BEST CITY IN AMERICA:

        "Endearingly quirky . . . [a] charming, offbeat debut . . . that winningly explores the romantic choices we make."

        —USA Today

        "Incredibly deft, utterly satisfying, a triumph of a first novel."

        —Melissa Bank

        "Such a satisfying read . . . The relationships among her cast are complicated, fraught and tender. Her story reads sweet but real."
